Do you have a group looking for a new adventure in 2027? How about a combination hunt in New Zealand with Chris McCarthy's Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris. Your group of four will have full exclusivity of Chris McCarthy's lodge and his renowned guide team — a true group and combination hunt, which is what Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris does best.
Red stag and fallow are hunted on a managed 3,500-acre private game estate, while tahr and chamois are hunted free-range across an exclusive 75,000-acre lease. Trophy fees are included for two red stags (scoring up to 405 SCI), one tahr, and one chamois — best available, to be shared among the group.
Lake Hawea Hunting Safaris has delivered the ultimate New Zealand hunting experience since 1993.
